THE HEALTHIEST BRAN MUFFINS YOU'LL EVER EAT



The Healthiest Bran Muffins You'll Ever Eat image

I've looked all over for inspiration! When my mother was in the hospital for by-pass surgery, I picked up a handout for heart healthy bran muffins. It became the basis for this recipe, but I've added a number of very healthy additions. Customize this as you wish: choose different nuts, add raisins, dates, dried apricots... make them your own!
